In most places in the USA, roads are cleared up pretty quickly and you can drive and taking a taxi on bad days is probably cheaper.

Parking lot dents and dings might happen only if you let the cold make you park 50 feet closer and next to badly parked cars.
So all of that leads to awkward analogies about women? This isn't a new thing for you. You've done it the entire time you've been here. All three Zs.

Also, I'm not sure if you know this (since you've posted before about regularly doing 100+mph on OEM summer tires in near-freezing conditions) but summer tires do not grip well in the cold, regardless of whether or not there's moisture on the road. Maybe some people don't want to switch wheels or neuter the car with all-seasons.
